Design and Performance of the IceCube Electronics
The first sensors of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory were deployed at the South Pole in January, 2005: sixty modules uniformly spaced on one string at depths from 1450 to 2450 meters and sixteen modules in eight tanks at the surface. PMT waveforms are digitized and time-stamped in the modules. This...
